| Weight Loss | what size at what weight? | Aug 23 2009 05:28 (UTC) |
16 |
I am about 5' 4" and weigh 157. I just bought a pair of jeans - size 14 (and they are a bit snug). Even though I know that I carry the most fat in my hips, it still seems odd that I wear such a large size compared to others of the same weight/height. The smallest size that I have ever worn was a size 6 and I weighed about 125 lbs at the time. Oh well. |

I guess I get worried when I log peanut butter and CC gives it a D+ rating. I know that in moderation, it's good for me but I don't like getting D's ;). I did have that half a sandwich you suggested with some baby carrots. It was a good snack. Do you know where I can find guidelines for the percentages of carbs, proteins and fats that I am supposed to be getting? I want to make sure that my diet is balanced correctly. For example, carbs are my biggest proportion (around 50%) followed by protein (around 30%) and then fat ( around 20%). Thanks again! |

Thank you for taking the time to write. I do want some helpful suggestions. I haven't had trouble with feeling full until I started to consciously increase my fiber intake. I'm doing this to be healthy and lose the weight. So, I appreciate the food suggestions. Like you mentioned, I simply don't know what foods contribute to this feeling and the ones that I should eat instead. I guess I don't normally eat the nuts and nut butters because I think they contain too much fat. I also try to limit the cheeses for the same reason. I sometimes have one slice mozzarella or provolone on my sandwich at lunch and I add a tsp of freshly grated parmesan to my egg white omelet in the morning. I think I will try your suggestion to add more cheese, pb, olives, almonds and apples. I just hope that I will be able to be sensible when it comes to the almonds and cheese as those are hard for me to eat in small quantities :) Stats: 5'4" 167 lbs. 1st goal is 20lbs 4.5 lost so far |
